Yeah, good looking ship, huh?

I guess they did it by hand. It’s a devil of a time using hand saws to cut steel and aluminum. Man, that’s hard work.

Then using chisels to shape the barrel of that bow gun. Wow. That ain’t no trip to Paris!

It appears that the built a war ship that actually had guns on it. Amazing!
